Thaks for your reply. Of course I googled. I know all of the info you put in your reply, but I am still not understanding why there are two WAN IP addresses on the phone itself. It makes no sense to me that a phone uses DOD (Department of Defense) IP address segment of 28.197.54.* for rmnet0 interface.
I ran my checkmyip from the phone itself when it was connected via 3G connection not via router. rmnet0 is within the phone itself not within the router.
